Papi and Varitek and Timlin, oh my

What a great game last night!

Big Papi starts things off with an RBI single (about time this guy contributed) to the chants of "MVP MVP MVP," the Cap'n Jason goes yard with a 2-run blast. Then they intentionally walk Papi to pitch to Manny? I thought the ESPN announcers were going to have an episode over that one.

But the big story was how Timlin came on with two outs in the 8th inning and slammed the door on the Yankees. Loved the intensity, and it was just the thing the Sox needed from a still suspect bullpen. One down, two to go, but the weekend is off to a great start!!

That's a good thing, because my nerves can't take much more of this...
